Cobra Water Mixable Oil Color 60ml Painting Paste 087
Cobra Painting Paste is a colorless medium that can be mixed with Cobra oil paint in any ratio. The paste is as thick as the paint and can therefore be described as a water-mixable oil paint without any pigment. Painting Paste increases the transparency and thickness of the paint while preventing wrinkling of thick layers of paint. This paste also does not influence the drying time of paint, retains the degree of gloss, and increases the durability of the paint film.
This paste is composed of vegetable oils and thickening agents and has various uses:
Increasing the amount of paint:
Painting paste can be used for impasto techniques (applying pure paint in thick strokes with a painting knife) using more expensive colors, so you can increase the amount of paint without there being difference in color. The more paste you add, the more transparent the paint becomes. The painting paste also allows thick paint to dry completely to the core, preventing wrinkling or rippling during and after drying.
Decreasing the color intensity:
The color intensity of the paint will decrease as more painting paste is added. This may be particularly important with the alla prima (wet-on-wet) technique when mixing colors with a highly divergent color intensity with one another in your painting. By adding more painting paste to a stronger color, this becomes less prominent.
Painting Paste can yellow slightly.
